AVIA HEN the starter’s flag flashes before the eyes of the pilots entered in the Thompson trophy race at Cleveland on Labor day it will signal the beginning of a contest which not only may shatter the all-time American speed record, but which may even es- tablish 2 new world speed record for 1and planes. This, at least, is the opin- jon of “Pop” Cleveland, veieran pilot and contest chairman of the races. “Pop” is convinced that some records are going to fall when the speed planes begin roaring over the Cleveland course during the annual classic this year. Not only have airplane speeds increas>d during the past year, he pointed out, but the fact that straightaway speed dashes will be permitted this year and that the Thompson race will bz around a course permitting 10-mile, instead of 5-mile, laps will result in higher speed averages. Th.e‘ first hint of the activity dis- played by prospective Thompson con- testants came with the crash of an ex- perimental racing plane during test spins by Maj. James H. Doolittle dur- ing the past week at East St. Louis. Doolittle, famous for his acrobatic fly- ing, also is & world-famed racing pilot, having carried the American colors in several Schneider races. Doolittle’s crash occurred in what he believed was the fastest land planc ever built. Reports indicated that the design would have achiced speeds well in excess of 270 miles per hour but for the fact that the wings, taken from a slower type of plane, were unable to gtand the strain of the bullet-lik> speeds attained in the tests and gave way, forcing Doolittle to become second-degree member of the Caterpil- Jar Club. Doolittle’s first forced para- chute jump to save his life was made during the National Air Races at Chi- cago last Summer, when he tore the wings off an Army Hawk in a power dive. Contest officials hope that Doo- little will be able to build another plane with more durable wings in time for the Cleveland meet. Harry Willlams, wealthy Louisiana sportsman pilot, has completed a racing plane which, according to reports re- ceived by the Cleveland officials, has made 286 miles per hour in secret tests. British Pilot May Race. The British air ministry has granted permission for Flight Comdr. Richard L. R. Atcherley, who attained a sea- plane speed of 332.49 miles per hour as a member of the Schneider team of 1929, to attend the 1931 races at Cleve- land, according to word received from Alford J. Williams, jr., former star Navy racing acrobatic pilot. Willlams is re- cruiting a foreign team to appear at this year's aviation epic. Atcherley, who flew last year at Chicago, may en- ter the Thompson race this year. The racing planes assembled at Cleveland this Summer not oniy will be permitted to show their form in the Thompson race, covering a distance of 100 miles around a 10-mile closed course, but also in 1-mile straightaway speed dashes. The straightaway speed runs are to be a new feature of the races this year and there will be 11 of them, for all types of planes, including three for woman pilots. The present speed record for women is held by Ruth Nichols, now in a St. John's hospital with a fractured spine as a result of a bad landing on the first hop of a projected transatlantic flight. She set a pace of 210 miles per hour at the Detroit Aircraft Show last April. Among the women Wwho will seek at Cleveland to better Miss Nichols' mark are Florence Lowe ‘“Poncho” Barnes, ® Laura Ingalls, Amelia Earhart Putnam, | Gladys O'Donnell, Pheobe Omlie, May Haizlip and Marjorie Doig. The Thompson race, which has come to occupy a place as the leading Ameri- can speed event, is for a beautiful trophy and a purse of $15,000. In addi- tion there will be placed at stake in Cleveland the Cleveland Pnuematic Tool Aerial Trophy and $7,500 cash for a 50-mile free-for-all race over a closed course. The present American speed record has been standing for eight years. It was established in 1923 by Lieut. Alford J. Willlams, jr., at Mineola, Long Is- land, with a speed of 266.59 miles per hour, in a plarc built for Schneider race purposes, but later converted into a landplane. The world's speed record for landplanes is 278.48 miles per hour, established by Adjt. Bonnet at Istres, France, in 1924. Harbors of the Air. Air harbors of the type required for the handling of giant airships are just as definitely provided by nature as are harbors for ocean-going vessels, in the opinion of Ward T. Van Orman, inter- nationally famous balloon racer, who has been in charge of the survey con- ducted by international airship inter-| ests for a United States terminal for transatlantic Zeppelin service. The difference between sea and air harbors, Van Orman pointed out, is that the steamship harbor is a visible sort of thing which may be quickly judged as to suitability. The airship harbor requires more study. It can not be judged at a glance. The suitability of the natural airship harbor is deter- mined by such factors as winds and temperatures, prevalence of thunder- storms, fogs, high winds and other manifestations of nature disturbing to the peace of mind of the gentlemen who shove dirigibles along the skyways. The location of the natural airship harbor may be determined only by thorough study of weather and climatic conditions. Such a study now is being completed by Mr. Van Ormen for the Goodyear Zeppelin Corporation and the International Zeppelin Transport Cor- poration, with a view to the establish- ment of transatlantic airship service within the next year or two. The search has been narrowed to four locations—near Philadelphia and Richmond, Va. These four points are within an area which affords the best all-around conditions for the docking and ground-handling of large airships. The area is fairly sharply defined, though some portions | of it afford benefits which are lacking| in others and at the same time lack| those conditions which l'l‘commend: other locations At the four sites now remaining under consideration careful studies have been made over 2 period of a yeir and en- gineers now are at work n the prac- tical problems of constructon, inclu ing grading, drainage and the location of foundations for the huges structures needed at a large airship terminal. ‘Washington Site Favored. The Washington site is a broad and flat valley bottom ringed with low hills, between Alexandria and Mount Vernon, bordering the main coast2] highway. It first was pointed out to Dr. Hugo Ecke- ner, moving spirit in the international Zeppelin organization, by Larry Wil- | liam and Robert J. Cottrell of the | Washington Board cf Trade, and is re- garded as having a splendid chance for selection as the site for the main ter- minal. Lifting characteristics of airships are greatly affected by temperature, Mr. Van Orman pointed out. As the heat increases, the lift diminishes. Too low temperatures may be’ acccmpanied by snow and the formation of ice. In Summer there is an increase of tem- perature south of Washington, Mr. Van Orman peinted out as a result of his studies, which limits the desirable 1:- cation on the basis of Summer tem- perature to the area north of Richmond. The desirable arca in Winter is south of the line between Trenton, N. J., and Harrisburg, Pa. Rapid temperature changes are to be avoided in airship operation. The ocean has a stabilizing efiect on temperature end so a locat'on near the coast is de- sirable. Too close to the coast, however, winds are apt to be violent and so a Jbappy medium must be found, usually in a belt 30 to 100 miles fnland from :lhe coast. Washington is in the center BY JOSEPH S. EDGERTON. ashington, Baltimore, | TION not cnly because of thunderstorms, lightning hazard, but more because of the excessive turbulence of the air in such a storm area. A reasonable area from a thunderstorm viewpoint, Mr. Van Orman finds, extends from Tren- ton to Richmond, in which the average is 32 to 40 thunderstorms & year. Must Avoid Snow. Snow may weight dewn an hip and also destroy visibility, and therefore is to be avcided. The study shows a marked decrease in the number of snowstorms per year south and south- west of Philadelphia. From the stand- point of heavy rains, the area 50 to 100 miles inland from the Atlantic coast is the best. Fog is an_important factor to be considered. In this respect Washing- | ton, Philadelphia #nd Richmond are the minimum area. On the basis of winds which afect the handling and docking of airships, Washington is fortunaiely = situated, being included in a small belt found to have the most desirable wind condi- tions. This belt extends only from Washington to Philadelphia, according to the Van Orman studies. “It should not be inferred that ideal conditions will be encountered 100 per cent of the time in any section of the Middle Atlantic seaboard,” said Van Orman in a report based on his study of the weather survey. “By sing the weather conditions encoun- | tered at the Naval Air Station at | Lakehurst, N. J., as a standard of comparison, it is apparent that the | operating conditions to be encountered |at the proposed locations | mond, Washington, Baltimore and [ Philadelphia will be very much better than those of Lakehurst. “In conformity with the conclusions of this study, we recommend that the locations of Richmond, Washington and Baltimore be considered for a transatlantic airship base, and also that Philadelphia be included as rep- resenting the most northerly point that we can conscientiously recommend for consideration.” New Colors Ordered. It should be easy to identify air- planes of the aeronautics branch of the Department of Commerce at & glance when repainting in the new color scheme just ordered has been com- pleted. Maroon, internaticnal orange, | black and aluminum are to be used. The tops of the wings on mono- planes and of the upper wings on bi- planes and the upper surface of ele- vators and stabilicers will be inter- national orange, selected because of its high visibility against any type of | ground surface. The metal motor | cowling and wheel fairings will be maroon. Landing gear and under- | struts will be painted black. The Ifuselaze and lower wings cn biplanes | will be aluminum. The wings, in addi- tion to the license number, will display | the letters “U. S.” | The new combination is said to be | more durable than the present colors |and to form a better preservative for fabric. Present colors are red for fuse- | lage, empennage and cowling, black for landing gear and sand color and inter- | national orangs for wings. Changes |in the color scheme on present planes | will be made only as repainting is re- quired. Britons Study Wings. The British air ministry has built two monoplanes with which to study airplane wing pressure, according_to information received here by the De- partment of Commerce. mounted so as to be movable under drag and lift pressures, movement be- ing restrained by a strut connecting ]them with a dynamometer in the fuse- age.

Jennings called an informal meeting of the de- | partment and post officers at the Colo- rado Building Thursday evening to dis- cuss plans for the ensuing year. The | meeting was attended by representa- tives of all posts, with assurance to Comdr, Jennings that full co-operation would be given in bringing about com- plete harmony in e Department Council. Comdr. Jennings announced there would be five principal projects to which he would direct the department's | energles during his administration. The first and foremost will be the hos- pital and relief work, which will be headed up by Department Surg. Dr. | Donald 8. Knowlton; second, the early | planning for the military ball, Novem- |ber 11. The plans for this are under the direction of Junior Vice Comdr.| | Nathen D. Golden, Clarence R.

Davis of Columbia Post. Fourth, recruiting will constitute an important item under the probable guidance of Walter Boehm, at present senior vice commander of Front Line Post. Fifth, Department Comdr. Jen- nings also emphasized the importance of the department’s Citizens’ Military Training Camps Committee, which he will leave under the guidance of Past | Comdr. Joseph F. Beattie. Another project of the department which likewise was emphasized, subject to the approval of the Departments of Maryland, Virginia and West Virgini: was the joint encampment of the Di trict of Columbia Department, to- | gether with those departments in Wash- ington, incident to the Bicentennial Commissicn in June of 1932, If is | probable this committee will be headed | by Past Comdr. George Tait, together with all past department commanders, including the National Councilmen of | the Fourth District 'and Past Comdr. in Chief Paul C. Wolman. | It is proposed for the time being to retain the coffice in the Colorado Build- ing, with Past Senior Vice Comdr. Os- car Hollingsworth in charge. At a| later date it may be found necessary to | remove the office to a locality which will be more available to the depart- ment organization. Comdr. Jennings announced that the appointments to his department staff would be made.public mot later than the Department Councii meeting, to be held at the District Building on July 6.

The appearance of the new ¥rd sin- gle-motored freight plane, whia made its public debut during the Depit air- craft show, has been followed b an an- nouncement from the America trade commissioner at Berlin of a rw Jun- kers all-metal, low-wing freigt plane which, except for the differencin loca- tion of the wing, is striking] similar to the new Ford_ freighter. The Junkers has main hahes for loading freight in the sides ad top of the fuselage. It is equipp=d wh a 685- horspower, water-cooled engie. It is provided with a tail-wheel, a unusual feature in a land where tail slds have heen the rule. A radio cogartment and space for baggage andmail are provided in addition to th general freight compartment. The plane has a wing spn of 95 feet, normal fuel capacity.of 2,200 pounds, giving a duration of§% hours and a range of about 950 nks. It is estimated that the plane coul fly with- out intermediate stops on 1e Berlin- | Lendon route, a distance of560 miles, with a pay load of 4,774 punds. Sixteen Thousand Pbts. The United States now s nearly 16,000 licensed airplane pilés who are maintaining active licenses eccording to figures of the Aeronauts Branch, Department of Commerce. There are, in addition, 14,483 active sadent per- mits in_existence. For the use of these 30,00 pilots and student pilots there ars 708 aircraft for which active licenses ge in exist- ence and the department albhas listed an additional 2,762 unlicesed air- planes; a total of about 10,00 active aircraft, or about one to ach three plots and student pilots. ‘These figures, however, do pt include military airplanes, though tey do in- clude many military pilots who also hold civil pilot licénses, The department records show that there are 9,234 active aircraf mechanic licenses in effect and that 16/ parachute riggers hold active licenses. The Aeronautics Branch has issued approved type certificatcs sr 423 dif- ferent types of airplanes. jeventy-two different types of engines hae been ap- proved for use in approvediype planes and there have been issud approved type certificates for 297 propellers.

LONDON (N.AN.A)—Sir Edward Elgar, whose newest work, the “Nursery Suite,” dedicated to the Duchess of York and the Princesses Elizabeth and Mar- garet, recently has been recorded for the gramophone, has nothing of the | professional musician about him. All his life he has maintained the attitude of an amateur of music, and he strongly resents the word “work” in connection with his musical activities. He looks and dresses like a retired colonel, and it is saild of him that a few years ago, when he was walking along th: towing path up the river, a steamer full of trippers passed him, saluted and began to whistle “Colonel Bog:y.” Sgh'y Edward's chief interest outside music is chemistry, and thereby hangs another tale. Late one night in his Hampstead house, during the war, when the world was wrapped in darkness and spies were suspected everywhere, an ex- plosion occurred in his laboratory. It was so loud that Sir Edward was serl- ously alarmed at ths effect it might have on his neighbors or on any | passers-by.
